A young boy holds up a sign reading "bans off her body bruh" at a rally outside the State Capitol in support of abortion rights in Atlanta, Georgia on May 14, 2022.

What was once another shortened way to call a friend “brother,” the word “bruh” is now being used widely, especially by Gen Alpha kids, to address parents, express sadness, frustration, happiness and seemingly everything else under the sun.
